cinerate, or heat the battery. Do not leave the battery
in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a car with its
windows closed.
Do not connect the player to a power source other
than that which is indicated here or on the label as this
may result in the risk of re or electric shock.

puter connection. Use the supplied USB cable to
